MS Sues Spammers for Circumventing its Spam Filter
I had this theory that anti-spam companies make spam. Ya know, give a reason for a product. I mean, who ACTUALLY gets spam to their Inbox still? And if they did, it would have to be a well-formatted email for anyone to take notice. The king of Nigeria wants to give me money if I send the $1000 first? Sounds awesome! :D
Well, if you have dud product (*ah-hem* Microsoft, Hotmail) then you might. I have a Gmail account that gets the spam shit out of it (I can see in my spam folder which I have hidden by default, anyway) but I haven’t seen any actual spam turn up in my inbox since I’ve opened the account. My work account gets NO spam. So, why would spammers target Hotmail accounts? And more importantly, why didn’t their spam filter work?

The InterGoogles Have Getting Passwords
I knew about this story a long time ago. Now that I have said Gmail is awesome with no spam, that doesn’t mean to say Google is in the clear. Their practices are starting to become equally dodgy as say Facebook’s privacy issues OR Microsoft’s…well, sue everything that makes us look bad or we disagree with stance for starters.

And I don’t know if mentioned it previously, NetStumbler would be some sort of software that might as assist in tracking down wireless networks.

I may have said this before - who knows? I say a lot of shit. 53 pages of entries.
Anyway, I fucking love AND hate 2leep.
You go to the site and you see a list. You realize that everything in list sounds interesting. And then you realize, “Holy shit, I’ve just wasted 8 hours reading just strange shit all day. Fuck, the boss is gunna be pissed. I got NOTHING accomplished today.”

Let’s just say that the ISPs of Australia and the Government do what we all fear and what George Orwell loosely predicted: control and monitor ALL Internet traffic. I mean, 1984 is more of a dystopian novel about the totalitarian regime of the Party, an oligarchical collectivist society where life in the Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance, public mind control, and the voiding of citizens’ rights. In the Ministry of Truth (Minitrue), protagonist Winston Smith is a civil servant responsible for perpetuating the Party’s propaganda by revising historical records to render the Party omniscient and always correct, yet his meagre existence disillusions him into rebellion against Big Brother, which leads to his arrest, torture, and conversion. But ya know, whatever.
I mean, it would take many people to trawl through all the data to find out what any of it means to begin with.

So when that happens, what do you to? Apart from becoming China.
Well, after you go through a vast amount of emotions including (but not limited to):
* Wetting your Pants
* Cry into your pillow
* Punch a wall in blinding rage
* Cower in a corner

Well, stress no more! We have a solution: A VPN. This system would only work on the proviso that there is a network still available out there that allows a free network. There are plenty of networks you can pay money for to access to their VPN. It is like dialing up to your ISP. Except you’re using your ISP to connect to somewhere else. I found a few little “How To’s”:
